Pardon the Dust
Welcome to Pardon the Dust: Dusting Off Construction with Caitlyn and Jillian, a podcast where we meet with industry members from the construction manufacturing industry to discuss a range of topics. Topics we will be covering in our episodes include best practices, new technologies, industry news and more. Our goal is to share with the industry the voices of manufacturers and vendors to *dust off* the curtains and shed light in areas not always publicly discussed. We hope to create new opportunities for everyone in the industry by providing a platform for industry members and through sharing this knowledge. And you know, we get it, construction is dirty. Every time Jillian and I go on-site somewhere, it’s a guarantee that we’ll come home dusty. That’s what inspired us in creating this title.
